of If it were all written down, the "world would
not contain the boOks'' it would make.
We learn that the exhibit realized
about $3.50 toward the fund for enter
tanning the Encampment.
The success of this Exhibit is due to
the W. II. c., winch includes major
ity of the WorthingtOn ladies. Since
they have shoWn such marked ability,
we would suggest that W. T.. q.
(Woman's Chamber of Commerce.) be
organized, and then we will be sure to
secure few factories before the end
of the year.
